Henry T. Wooster, who has served as the U.S. chargé d’affaires in Haiti, has been nominated as ambassador to Kenya by the Trump administration. His nomination is part of a broader slate of ambassadorial appointments pending Senate approval. Wooster's potential departure comes at a critical time for Haiti, which is grappling with significant political challenges, including the long-awaited elections and the impending return of over 300,000 Haitians from the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status. The Prime Minister of Haiti, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, is currently reviewing electoral laws to ensure the integrity of the upcoming elections. Wooster's tenure has been marked by a focus on security, as Haiti continues to struggle with gang violence despite some recent improvements. His approach has drawn both criticism and support, as he has employed sanctions against political figures to maintain stability. The U.S. has also established a Gang Suppression Force, which has begun operations in Port-au-Prince, highlighting ongoing security concerns in the region. Wooster emphasized that the upcoming elections are ultimately a matter for the Haitian people to decide, despite external pressures.
